Nozomi

Lucky number three. Today Sony Ericsson has posted their third teaser image sporting what looks to be the new Sony Ericsson Xperia flagship smartphone they'll be unveiling at CES. If all of the previous rumors and leaks turn out to be accurate this will be the Xperia Arc HD (aka Nozomi) -- but we could also be seeing multiple new devices from Sony at this years show as this new image looks different than the Nozomi.

Sony's still playing coy with its latest high-end phone reveal before CES, but at least one person has managed to lay hands on it. ITProPortal's tipster didn't stop there: they've managed to benchmark the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc HD, also known as the Nozomi. With the latest Qualcomm 1.5Ghz dual-core processor residing inside, it's got a lot of expectations to live up to. But if this early hands-on is anything to go by, all is not well in the land of XPERIA.

CES doesn't start for almost a week, but you wouldn't know that from a casual glance at the tech news today. Not content with whetting our appetites with real-life hardware at the show, Sony Ericsson released the teaser image below just to get our nerdy hands twitching. You can bet your bonnet we'll be seeing whatever this thing is in Las Vegas.

So it looks like Sony Ericsson, soon to be Sony is gearing up for some exciting news at CES. Stating today on multiple social network sites that they have "interesting news" and that "something big is coming" sometime next week. Obviously this will most likely be their next flagship phone, but we can't say for sure.

It appears that SONY really is going all in with Android because the details of this latest leaked phone sound extremely nice. This 4.55" 1280 x 720p reality display packing smartphone is headed for AT&T with an awesome display and an equally impressive camera to snap some high quality beautiful photos. Leaked as the LT28at this phone could very well be their next flagship device and seen at CES 2012 coming up shortly. More details and photo samples below.

Say what you will about Sony Ericsson's current lineup of Android phones, but the Nozomi (AKA the Arc HD) is a looker no matter how you break it down. A tipster delivered a new set of leaked photos to GSMArena, showing off the high-end handset's sharp corners and chrome accents. This is the first we've seen of the phone's back, and while it's a little thicker than we'd like, there's just no denying the appeal of the slate.

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc HD has surfaced again today in a quick spyshot from what seems to be Hong Kong. We saw just yesterday a leaked press image of the device, and most noticeable is the glowing ring that paths around the bottom. The softkeys are definitely there, but the glow is probably just for looks - and that's fine by me. From this new image, it's safe to say the Arc HD will come in both black and white models.

The Sony Ericsson Nozomi (LT26i) has leaked more than a few times but we've continued to call it the Xperia Arc HD. The Nozomi was first reported back in August and last week we received some confirmation this will be a 1280 x 720p rocking Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich flagship phone from SONY. Today an official press image render has been leaked by Xperia Blog -- only adding to our interest.

The Sony Ericsson Nozomi (LT26i) has leaked for us in a very tiny cropped picture watermarked from sebbsit168.com. It's looking quite sleek from what we can see, but there's really no way to tell how small or large the display actually is. My guess is it's right at around 4". From playing around with the Nexus S running an AOSP Android 4.0 ROM, 4" is a great size to run ICS on. As Chris Chavez notes from Phandroid, it looks as if the actual device name may be the XPERIA Cloud - though that's not for certain.
If you zoom into the photo you'll notice a few things; first off under the Camera heading, you can see it will take 1920x1080 video capture. Next you'll notice it has a dual core processor and even microSD support. I've always been a fan of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA line, and this phone looks the best by far. Unlike the Galaxy Nexus, it seems to have three softkeys included near the chin of the device, making navigation not completely dedicated to the display.
It looks extremely thin, but then again most recent XPERIA devices (such as the Ray) were. I hope it makes it here to the states soon, because it would be a shame for the Galaxy Nexus to not have some proper competition! But chances are, our main man Chris Davies over in London will get it first - as most Sony Ericsson devices hit international waters first.

The Sony Ericsson team is still alive and kicking and now some new details are claiming we might see the SE Nozomi (aka LT26i/LT26a) handset launch soon. What is even better is this new HD powerhouse smartphone may see a global release according to some leaked information. The SE Nozomi first leaked back a few weeks ago and even though it probably wont have a dual-core processor the rest of the hardware specs sure look impressive.
